Combining salty and sweet delights into one snack, the Quad Cities River Bandits' Chocolate-Covered bacon is one of a kind in the Midwest League. Playing off food found at Quad Cities-area fairs, it features a double-thick cut of bacon is cooked on a stick and then dipped into melted Belgian chocolate. Easy to hold, the Chocolate-Covered Bacon blends the savory, salty taste of bacon and the delicious sweetness of chocolate.

" Each year, we build on one of the most fantastic ballpark dining experiences in Minor League Baseball by giving fans more unique and affordable options on the ballpark menu, and Chocolate-Covered Bacon has been a top hit this season at Modern Woodmen Park," said River Bandits owner Dave Heller. "Everyone loves bacon, and everyone loves chocolate. Our chocolate covered bacon snack is arguably the greatest chocolate invention since our friends at Reese's put chocolate and peanut butter together."

Fans in the Quad Cities can now spread the word by voting in the MiLB.com Food Fight.

Chocolate-Covered Bacon is in the 60-item field featuring concession items across Minor League Baseball.
